Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify fiber content labeling meets 359 cotton requirements via lab tests; discrepancies lead to reclassification under Chapter 61
• Provide detailed invoices specifying 'leg warmers as footwear parts' to distinguish from hosiery; include Chapter Note 4 material dominance proof
• Avoid bundling with shoes to prevent set classification under 6405; declare as individual removable articles
